Why are you still complaining about HG/BR? It's over now... move on...
It sucks that still after four years people are still calling Hunger Games a Battle Royale rip off. I'm not going to make a case because we've all heard both sides of the argument, what I do want to know is why you're still so miffed about it? Call me crazy, I was just hoping to jump onto the IMDb board and read some comments people had about Mockingjay Part 2, maybe see if there was anything I missed and get some other opinions about it so I could have a rounded perspective on the movie (which I though was excellent - a worthy and visually spectacular adaption of a novel I'm somewhat mixed on.) I just don't understand why this is pretty much an argument faulting the movie and it just seems so vapid and weak.
This argument has been going on for over four years since the first movie and now that both the book and movie series is finished it's still every fourth or fifth topic in this board. Can't we just discuss the movie on it's own? We get it, you feel the series ripped off another movie you clearly respect, what I don't get is why you're still ripping on the similarities between the first book/movie and Battle Royale? We've reached Mockingjay and at this point the book/movie has reached an entirely new place in which a dystopian uprising is challenging it's current government, what does this have to do with Battle Royale?
Ultimately, I'm asking all the people who are still complaining about this to actually explain in writing what the problem is and why you still feel so cheated? Why is Mockingjay such a drag for you that you're still beating a dead horse with this same argument? Please help me understand because I legitimately want to know why this bothers you so. Offer a point of view that maybe I'm not considering, help me understand.
